Presentation transcript:

A 7.8-year-old boy who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism by a dermatologist who was seeing him for eczema. His only other complaint was constipation. TSH was 858 mU/L, total T4 1.2 mg/dL (15.4 nmol/L), and bone age 3.5 years. He had been measured but not plotted on a growth chart at his primary care clinic, where his 3-year lack of growth was not appreciated. Note the classic physical appearance (A), the growth chart showing cessation of growth with subsequent catch-up following thyroid hormone replacement (B), and the testicular enlargement in the face of low testosterone levels (testosterone = <10 ng/dL or <0.4 nmol/L) and absence of pubic hair (C).
